that’s not enough options tho. we can only pick a single thing from those drop-down lists, and we can’t sort results in any way at all - most of those options in the last box are borked and give results from several days ago

the ability to sort and / or filter search results by various different qualities

he should have just been pinged by that comment, but i’ll do it from the world instance just in case

hey @ruud there’s a community where the top mod has gone inactive and the next person wants to do some changes but can’t. could you please help? cheers

is there a way to view them (or at least specific ones) as one merged thing?

oh wow man, that’s a massive step - well done!

i finally spent the time and wrote a good long explanation of things from my point of view and what was motivating me for the users of that sub to read, along with my two-week notice. if someone wants to take over from me then i’ll mod them up like what you did, but otherwise i’m planning on sticking around until the API changes go into effect, shutting the sub down for multiple days each week so that it still hits the suits for a third of their advertising revenue, then when it’s all done and nobody’s replaced me i’ll put the sub into restricted and lock it right the fuck down otherwise, remove myself as a mod, and just walk off into the sunset

huffman’s been huffing his farts too much. can’t wait to see the look on his face when he realises that his servers worth millions of dollars can be replaced with something like ten grand of pooter parts, which if you think about what nerds are like it’s basically guaran-fucking-teed, but he’s too busy huffing farts and thinking that his shit don’t stink

don’t get music from streaming services because it’s too low quality. instead hunt for FLAC format. it’s lossless.

i pay for spotify premium (yes i hate ads THAT much) and when i download songs with it for playing offline there’s a weird high gate cutoff which i can clearly notice and sounds like a dogwhistle to me. pretty sure it’s the encryption rather than the sound quality tho. don’t go that option - it removes too much of the shape of the music, fuzzes out too many subtle details.

if you’re willing to pay for it, bandcamp.

so … this isn’t a place where i can ask if anyone’s seen my boat? dangit

think of it this way - will people who can’t or won’t use the official reddit app be able to see anything over there? i’m specifically talking about blind people. it’s not fair if people are excluded for any reasons that they have no control over.

your position as founder of a large and successful community over there is not envious. i’m in a position of being a junior mod on a couple subs, and it’s sad for me to see the website destroy itself, i can’t imagine how much worse it is for you.

personally if i was in your position, this is what i would do. i’m not saying that it is what you should do, it’s just what i would do, and what i AM doing in the two subs that i am janitor for

• prepare your users for the demise of reddit with announcements and a timeline leading up to the end of the month or whenever you decide to pull the plug
• put up sticky posts where you ask the community what their opinions are. let them have their say.
• put up other stickied posts where you suggest other places for the community to go to, eg here, and remember that you don’t have to be the person who holds everything together and other people are willing to share that load.
• don’t be too disheartened if the community splinters and goes to multiple various forums - each of those communities will grow from that seed.
• don’t imagine even for a second that the good work that you have put so many years into will go to waste. it won’t. the community that you helped to facilitate isn’t going to die, there are too many people in it for that.
• deliberately go out of your way to look for the positive in everything around you
• tell the people close to you how much they mean to you. if you love them, tell them that.
• get a few good meals and good sleeps into you.
• take at least one “mental health day” where you don’t get out of your pajamas or put shoes on

and also - thanks for creating that specific subreddit. i am only one person who got heaps of enjoyment out of it and i am sure that i’m not the only one. you enabled that. thank you.
